Oh, I agree, I feel the same way...but the majority of America simply doesn't. These are radical ideas to them and almost everyone I talk to is says that they like the Libertarians in prinicple, but that the party scares them through extremism.
I'm not arguing to change the end goals in any way, I'm just saying, in order to win support, why not "ease" the majority of Americans into the ideas of the party. Start small and provide clear plans and miniaturized social experiments to prove the value and workability of the greater ideal.
And if not, why not? Its not compromising your ideals, its just a matter of reaching them more slowly. But compared to the continued alienation of the majority, reaching the party goals slowly seems better than not reaching them at all.
